Murph's RVTV Photo Album: Day 1 Pleasantville

It's Thursday night, the Packers are picking up where they left off, and I thought I'd use halftime for a show and tell on the RVTV Tour 2011.

Day 1 in Pleasantville. This semi-truck showed up and started blasting the Hawkeye fight song. No Iowa fans complained. It's a cool truck.

I can't say enough about Pleasantville. The people could not have been nicer. It's interesting how much small towns appreciate positive coverage. Time and time again, we hear, "Usually the only time we see the media is when something bad happens. Thank you." No, thank you.

RVTV? Perfect time for a lemonade stand! Never pass up kids selling lemonade. Especially when they're this cute.

I was thrilled to meet Bruce Willis.

Not Cast Your Kernel, Cast Your Bean at Smokey Row. Hawks clearly in front of the bean count. Smokey Row brought us breakfast in bed. Well, breakfast in the RV.

Not exactly roughin' it, but we do work long days. Many people are surprised how much goes into putting a few minutes of newscast together. Here I'm pictured with Brandon McCauley, the pride of Nevada. (More on Nevada later.)

Pleasantville had a great turnout, and a fun street party. We stayed out late with some of the nicest guys I've ever met.

Pleasantville Bags Tournament. We were disqualified.

The Trojans cheerleaders in a serious posedown.

This is one cute dog. Go Hawks!

Pleasantville did too much, and then showered us with gifts. My wife wants to move there.

The Iceborg actually believed he had to sleep in this tent, and he never complained.

Welcome to Pleasantville

(Alisa) Hey there, I'm the multimedia producer at WHO and I'm tagging along on RVTV to make sure our site (www.whotv.com/sports/rvtv) gets updated and you all know where we are and what we're up to.
Also, check us out on facebook (SoundOFF Nation) and twitter (@Soundoff13). All the guys will be tweeting from their own accounts and hashtagging it #13RVTV, so join in the conversation and hashtag your RVTV tweets!
Well, we got into Pleasantville around lunch time today and there were already kids playing football in the street. I went into Smokey Row and 10-year-olds were discussing the pros and cons of their teams offensive and defensive lines. Suffice to say, this town is ready for some football!
They've turned their main street into a giant tailgate. There is BBQ wafting into the windows of the RV as I type this.
We've had a few bumps in the road so far, but the cooler is stocked and the pillows are fluffed. Keith and Andy are the only ones here so far, but they've laid claim to the most comfortable beds. Zach, of course, will be camping out in the tent (he's a newbie). Ed says no rain though, so he should be okay.
Being the only girl on the trip, I have to watch out for myself. I got a whistle, to get their attention, and I bought a pink camping chair. I figured it would deter the guys from sitting in it... But everyone says the same thing, Chris will be all over it when he gets here...
